There are risks involved in any surgery, just as there are risks involved in driving or riding in a car, and there are very few drivers who have never had a scratch or a car accident in their life. There are major and minor car accidents, and there are also major and minor surgical risks. After all, major car accidents are still rare, so serious surgical risks (such as paraplegia and death) are also relatively rare. Just choose a hospital you trust, choose a doctor you trust, and have the surgery.
